Well, I think it is time to make a frequently asked questions post! :)
First off, I want to make it clear that this is completely a service abroad. I am not going to be paid while I am over there. In fact, I am not aloud to get paid monetarily at all while there, because I do not have a work visa. I will be working and teaching English to the boys and girls there 5 days a week, and then have weekends and a small amount of vacation time to explore at on my own time and expense. :) I leave mid-august, I won't have official flight details until probably the end of July, but I predict leaving August 15th, and then returning just before Christmas. Which I predict to be about December 20th!
I don't know what age group I will be teaching yet, I could be teaching kindergarten age, to I believe 12 year-olds. I will be staying with a host family, while I am there. Did you know they eat their pancakes drowned in oil and not syrup...interesting huh?! haha They usually live in small apartment sized homes. Oh! and if anyone has any ideas as to what gifts I should bring them, I'd be happy for suggestions!!!
Let's see, what else have I been asked a lot? Oh!!!! I know many of y'all thought I was headed to Texas for the summer, originally I was! BUT, because of my grandma I decided to stay in Utah. So, I am currently in Cedar City, working everyday! However, I will be back in Texas at the end of July. So, Texas friends, I have about 2-3 weeks to party before leaving to Ukraine!
Okay, I'll add more as I remember, but I believe that is it for now....
